INS Vikrants Rafale Moment: Historic Landing Gives Indias Maritime Strike Capability New Edge
The Indian Navy has achieved a major milestone. A French Rafale Marine fighter has successfully landed on INS Vikrant for the first time during ongoing trials off Goa. The landing took place on the indigenous aircraft carriers deck and marks a key step before India inducts 26 Rafale Marine fighters. The challenge was significant because the Rafale M was designed for catapult-assisted carriers, while INS Vikrant uses a ski-jump and arresting-wire system known as STOBAR. The successful trial proves that the French fighter can operate from Indias carrier deck. Watch this report to understand the Rafale M deal, its capabilities and why the landing strengthens Indias maritime air power.

Why Priyanka Chopra is backing an Indian short film about 3 men fighting AI
Highlights Priyanka Chopra Jonas joins Oscar-qualified Indian short film We Were Here as executive producer. The film follows three retired men who stage an unusual protest against AI taking over human jobs. We Were Here has screened at over 80 festivals and won more than 20 awards. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is throwing all her support behind an Indian short film that tackles one of the biggest concerns of the time through an unexpectedly comic premise. The actress has joined We Were Here , written and directed by Pranav Bhasin, as the executive producer, helping bring the story of three retired men fighting back against AI to an international audience. Chopra Jonas is one among the high-profile names backing the project, alongside actor Andrew Scott and Tony Award winning playwright and activist V. Inside the offbeat story that got Priyanka Chopra interested We Were Here follows three retired men in a small Indian town who fear machines are taking over human jobs. Their response is as bizarre as it is inventive. They protest by pretending to be household appliances. Things become more complicated when one of their children joins an AI company. The project appears to have struck a chord with Chopra Jonas, whose international career spans Bollywood and Hollywood. Her involvement brings additional visibility to a story that uses humor to explore anxieties about automation, employment and the future of human work. It combines an offbeat comedy with a topic that extends far beyond its small town setting. The film has screened at more than 80 international film festivals and won over 20 awards, including honors at South by Southwest and Palm Springs International ShortFest. Its win at Palm Springs secured its eligibility for Academy Award consideration. The short film has also been acquired by The New Yorker for release on its YouTube channels, giving it another platform to reach global audiences. With Chopra Jonas backing the project, an unconventional Indian story is brought to the international stage, converting the fear of being replaced by machines into a comic battle for human relevance. Her involvement places a global star behind a story rooted in an everyday concern.

School building collapses, new polio cases expose vulnerability of children in Pakistan: Report
Digital Desk | Islamabad, Oct 30 (IANS) Pakistan reported its seventh case of polio virus in 2026 on October 19. Just four days before, 34 children and one female teacher died after a school building collapsed in Pakistan's Peshawar. The two cases are different: one is related to public health, vaccination coverage and the difficulties in eradicating a virus, while the second raises questions over construction safety, oversight and possible negligence. However, both developments expose the vulnerability of children in Pakistan, a report has detailed. As many as 34 school children and one female teacher were killed, while dozens of students were injured after the roof of a private education centre in Peshawar collapsed during classes on October 15. Rescue teams searched for survivors beneath the debris for hours while parents desperately awaited news about their children. The majority of the children who died were aged 13 years and below, according to the report in Pressenza International News Agency. Preliminary police assessments has revealed that the building had structural weaknesses, while the additional weight of construction above the classrooms may have contributed to the collapse. The authorities arrested the owner of the school while the investigation was launched to find the cause of the incident. Families of the victims said that concerns were raised about the safety of the buildings previously. On October 21, the Peshawar High Court demanded explanations from the provincial government and relevant officials over the collapse of a school building. The court's decision came after families of the victims and legal representatives demanded a transparent probe and investigation, according to the report. The intervention of the Peshawar High Court brought a wider institutional question into focus: who oversees the conditions under which educational facilities operate, and how effectively are safety regulations enforced? Access to education is a fundamental right. But having a place in a classroom is not enough when the building itself may endanger students lives. For families with limited financial resources, affordable private schools may be among the few available educational options. That social necessity, however, cannot justify lower safety standards, Chrysoula Asteriadou, a social worker, mentioned in a report in Pressenza International News Agency. Days after the school building collapse incident in Peshawar, the National Emergency Operations Centre for Polio Eradication on October 19 said that a six-month-old boy in Karachi had tested positive for wild poliovirus. Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only two countries in the world where wild poliovirus remains endemic. Over the years, Pakistan has been vaccinating children to eradicate the poliovirus from the country. From around 20,000 polio cases in the early 1990s, the cases have dropped to seven in Pakistan as of October 19, 2026. Nevertheless, the new case in Karachi demonstrates that progress does not imply eradication of the disease. A collapsing school and a new polio case are not the same kind of crisis. The first raises questions about construction safety, oversight and possible negligence. The second concerns public health, vaccination coverage and the difficulties of eradicating a virus. What connects them is the vulnerability of children, Chrysoula Asteriadou mentioned in a report in Pressenza International News Agency. Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa elementary and secondary education department's initial estimates have revealed that 4,049 government schools in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have been declared in 'dilapidated' condition and require immediate reconstruction and rehabilitation to ensure the safety of students and teachers, local media reported. A total of Pakistani Rupees (PKR) 16.2 billion will be needed to reconstruct and repair these schools, according to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa elementary and secondary education department's initial estimates. According to a report in leading Pakistani daily 'Dawn', the department said that the structures which need reconstruction and rehabilitation include 8,088 classrooms, 2,949 group latrines and 48 examination halls. The department conducted a survey in government schools after a private school building collapsed in Dir Colony of Peshawar earlier this month. The government has also directed the Elementary and Secondary Education Authority (ESEA) to conduct inspections in private school buildings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Manisha Bhanwala makes history, clinches India's first gold in Senior World Championships
Digital Desk | Astana (Kazakhstan), Oct 30 (IANS) Manisha Bhanwala made history for India, clinching the country's first gold medal in Senior World Championships Wrestling with a brilliant comeback victory over Abigail Nette of the USA in the women's 59kg final in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Friday. India's first gold medal in the competition came after two failed attempts at the 2026 World Championships in Astana. Manisha achieved the historic result in an incredible manner, coming back from a 6-0 deficit against Nette in the final and winning 8-6 for the gold medal. Earlier in the World Championships, Neelam in 50kg and Kajal (IND) in 76kg tried to become world champions, but both fell short in the finals, according to information provided by United World Wrestling (UWW). In the women's 59kg final, Manisha got dumped for four points by Nette, but India challenged that call only to lose and give another point to the American wrestler, who took a 5-0 lead. A caution against Manisha extended Nette's lead to 6-0. The Indian reduced the margin by bagging a stepout before the break to get one point on board. But Manisha then mounted a superb comeback, first with a takedown against Nette, which the United States challenged, saying that the referee whistled to stop the bout. The challenge was lost, giving one more point to Manisha and position in par terre. From 6-4, Manisha managed to turn Nette using a gut-wrench for two points and tried holding Nette for the fall but failed to do so. Nette then tried to defend her 6-6 criteria lead, but Manisha scored a pressure takedown and took an 8-6 lead that she defended to win a historic gold medal. Manisha delivered a standout performance to reach the 59 kg final at the Senior World Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Thursday. Manisha put India in contention for gold by defeating Mongolias Bolortuya Khurelkhuu in the semifinals. Earlier, Manisha began her campaign with a convincing 6-2 win against Canada's Laurence Beauregard in the pre-quarterfinals.

Sairaj Bahutule: Indias spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule said the 87-run defeat to New Zealand in the fourth T20I at Eden Park came due to losing early wickets in the chase and a bowling effort that leaked 20-30 extra runs. Glenn Phillips smashed 107 off 49 balls, including hitting 10 sixes, as New Zealand piled up a record 259/7. Michael Bracewell gave him strong support with a 25-ball 65 that included six sixes as India also conceded their highest-ever mens T20I score. Indias chase stumbled in the very first over, when Jacob Duffy removed both Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan. With the required rate hovering around 13 an over, India kept losing wickets and eventually were restricted to 172/9. You could say that (we struggled to get going). Obviously, Eden Park is a challenging ground in terms of dimensions. But I think we were very clear as to what we wanted to do. We were clear in terms of our strengths, and we wanted to execute our skills to whatever we could really work towards. But it didnt happen. I think while chasing the score, we lost far too many wickets in the power play. But I think its always challenging playing here because of the shape of the ground. Conditions obviously, when we start the game at 8 oclock, its cold and windy. We maybe could have executed slightly better in terms of chasing. While bowling-wise also, we could not have given that many runs. Could have been short of 20-30 runs. But it didnt happen today. Hopefully, well regroup and recollect and make sure that we continue our form in Hamilton, said Bahutule in the post-match press conference. He kept returning to Indias chase faltering in the powerplay, where New Zealands bowlers hit their lengths and took wickets early. I think losing wickets in the powerplay. The moment you lose two wickets, you are always 30 runs short of your total. So, they bowled well in the right areas. We tried to score as much as possible in the powerplay. It didnt happen. If we had managed post-powerplay also, I am sure we would have been closer to the target. But again, it was just a question of losing wickets in the powerplay. Bahutule pointed out that both departments had fallen short, though the batting groups approach would not change. I think that in both things, in bowling and batting, as I said, we could have given a few runs less in bowling. In batting, if we had one or two wickets in Power-play, then definitely we would have been able to chase because the way our batting line-up is, the way everyones mindset is, there is always a first attempt to win. But that didnt happen today. But in the future, we will definitely achieve that. As you know, power play is very crucial. You know, once you have a good start in six overs, while chasing this target, if you are almost 80-90, then we are sort of in line to at least get close to it. There is just a question of a couple of partnerships. Once those couple of partnerships had taken place in the mid-overs between the 7th and the 15th over, in the last five overs, definitely we could have got closer. Thats what weve achieved before. But again, as I said, about 20-25 runs is a bit far too much for us to be given by the bowling unit. Bahutule also spoke about the crowded schedule, saying the players picked for the ODIs like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Gurnoor Brar - had already started training while the T20I squad moves on to Hamilton for Sundays clash. I think we always have planning, and it has already been done. So I think the guys who have come for the one-dayers have already started preparation today. The coaching staff will stay for a while and facilitate things for them as much as possible. Then once the team comes back from Hamilton, theyll join. So this scheduling, as you know, is in a way which is quite busy. But I think all of us from the support staff are ready to take up any job, any opportunity where we can help the players and see how we can prepare them for the one-dayers and the Test matches. So we are ready. On the varying conditions in New Zealand, Bahutule said the team had chosen to treat that as a challenge to face head-on. Its challenging in its own way because there are some grounds in New Zealand where you get to play on drop-in pitches, which is, I think, very rare. It doesnt happen in India. So when you come here, you see the change, the difference in the bounce, the seam movement, the little bit of hold-up depending on the dew factor, which obviously gets the moisture. So there are little challenges for the batters initially. On the varying conditions in New Zealand, Bahutule said the team had chosen to treat that as a challenge to face head-on. Its challenging in its own way because there are some grounds in New Zealand where you get to play on drop-in pitches, which is, I think, very rare. It doesnt happen in India.
